Awliya are Light for the Hearts

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu Billāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismillāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn. Madad yā RasūlAllāh, Madad yā Sādāti Aṣḥābi Rasūlillāh, Madad yā Mashāyikhinā, Dastūr Mawlana Sheikh Abdullāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistāni, Sheikh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

[..] Fearing from everything. Those who fear Allah ﷻ are not doing anything because they know that what Allah ﷻ wants will happen. AlhamduliLlah today in Malaysia we visited many Awliyau’Llah, beloved ones of Allah ﷻ. [..] In this area, they love Awliyau’Llah. For the sake of Allah ﷻ, they were Hidayah in this area.

It is so far. ‘Far East’ they say, it is really the Far East; very far from our place. In this time, even with planes and cars it is very far. So how did they come maybe 400 years ago? They built everything. They built their country, everything. For what? For the love of Allah ﷻ, for the sake of being a beloved one of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla.

So Allah ﷻ loves these people. And you must be with people whom Allah ﷻ loves. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla’s love is forever. Those who are following what Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla loves, He ﷻ loves them. When Awliyau’Llah pass away, die, the love doesn’t finish. If Allah ﷻ loves him, if he dies, Allah ﷻ will not love him? Ridiculous! There are people who are making people go away from Awliyau’Llah. Awliyau’Llah are a blessing and Barakah for the place they are in. In the graveyard or outside, they are a blessing for the area. You must be happy. Everywhere there are Sahabah or Imam or Awliyau’Llah. People are visiting them. They get Barakah from them. Don’t think they are dead; they are alive with the Name of Allah ﷻ: Hayy.

So for common people, they must know the good from the bad. They must know what is right and what is wrong. The right is those who are with Awliyau’Llah. The wrong is those who are against them, not with them. Because Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla says in Hadith Qudsi:, “Whosoever shows enmity to a Wali (beloved) of Mine, then I have declared war against him.” “Whoever is an enemy for My beloved one, I declare war on him.” Who can stop a war that Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla declares upon him? Never. For this, these people will never succeed insha’Allah.

We are happy with people who are respecting. They must even respect these people. They brought Islam for them and for their ancestors; hundreds of years in Islam. They brought Ulama, Madrasah, Mashayikh, Imam for all of this area. Nobody was unhappy with them. They all praised them. And there is still what they wrote from good lectures, good advice and teachings for people. They have hundreds and thousands of books.

They are light for this area, light for the hearts. ‘ ’, ‘Fa l-tamisu Nura’, ‘And seek light.’ (Qur’ān 57:13), Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is saying. Look for Light. Light is very important. And these people are light for all of this area, for all of Malaysia. The Sultan, Rulers, Ulama, all of them come from this area. Coming to learn and going to teach. They brought people to Islam, to Hidayah all from this place. May Allah ﷻ give us from their light to our hearts to be (more) stronger, to be Hidayah for these people who are against these good people and beloved people of Allah ﷻ. May Allah ﷻ make us love them here and hereafter insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
